After letting pets on ferries and trains, the city’s rolling out this change to foster inclusion, with cafes like Kelvin Chan’s hoping it builds community and understanding. Dogs must stay leashed, off tables, and eat pre-packaged food—no utensils allowed. Even “fighting breeds” are still banned. Some owners are enrolling pups in etiquette workshops to keep them calm in crowds. Restaurants are upgrading with air purifiers and pet zones, betting on a 15% sales boost. It’s a balancing act—honoring the human-pet bond while respecting all patrons. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
